    Was planning patience and all that, try first, have a good think. As if. PJB 6b NEO - This is sounding very good indeed. Plenty enough bottom and I prefer front porting too. Mids really fab, and the top is SO nice. HFs are generally a bit hard and aggressive I find. These 5s deliver a lovely smooth (sweet, some say) top and plenty of it if you want. Notice the head set flat, and the usual VVT adjustments on the Jazz deliver every Jazz sound I know and use. (EB Cobalts on btw). Top marks PJB - comes amazingly well packed, with a fitted cover that wasn't mentioned in the blurb. Think I've got myself a keeper of a compact rig for fretless (mainly) ... then some. Finger lickin' good.👍

    A real classic and very sensible price too. Spent quite a while looking for one but I'm over-stuffed with gear now so, damn. This will not be hanging around.

    David bought my USA '62 Jazz. Fast and easy transaction. Instant pre-payment and a pleasure to deal with. Thanks David.

    I'm having trouble finding specs on this, please can you advise dimensions and weight?

    Thanks @Dan Dare - That's 2 PJB users told me they prefer the 5s, and given their extended high-mid/low top I'd be happy without a tweeter - I find them a bit forward and aggressive normally. GuitarGuitar have an end-of-line 6B at a silly price at the mo but it's just a bit too big and also relatively weighty (about 22Kg I think). Lot of cab for £350 though. Can anyone tell me the differences between a 4B and a 4C? I'm aiming for a small light 2nd rig for acoustic/ electro-acoustic stuff so a 4C and micro head would be ideal I think - playing fretless almost entirely. And I prefer the flexibility of a head and cab, some small class Ds are almost pocket-size and I use a Sansamp for shaping mainly, don't need lots of EQ in the head. and thanks for the offer, it would be very sensible to try them - where N London approx?

    missing a trick - chop it down the middle, get 400 easy for a Berg 210... quids in. You're welcome 👍

    Under-rated I think (much like buses). I ran one a while and regret selling. You take a look and think 3 band EQ, no extra boost n bump switches or knobs. But the EQ is really good and just where you want it - the onboard tuner is a very tidy idea and the toneprint is ace - their chorus print is one of the best I've used (incl several Boss pedals). And they might be like buses (being red) but this one's priced very well so it's a good 'un. From Waterford so it should sound crystal. Bump to go 👍

    Now sold

    Check original seller's pics - he did a very good job with lighting and has the tort guard on. and btw, when you say the Don, are we referring to the President of the USA? It's just that you capitalised the D. The headstocks are similar in tint I suppose.

    My 60s EB3 was bloody awful for that - strap button behind neck/body joint and chunky tuners. It was happy when the headstock was scraping the boards. Gibson eh?

    2018 Fender USA 'Original 60s' Jazz. Candy Apple Red, white or tort plate (both) , rosewood board, vintage hardware including reverse tuners, strap button on headstock, threaded string saddles, earth strip from back p'up to bridge, finger rest etc etc. '64 CS p'ups, clay dot markers, stack pots (see below) and the original factory VVT plate as well, rich glossy nitro finish, 60s C neck 9.5" rad, weighs around 9 1/2 lb. Absolutely mint condition - one very small mark under where the bridge cover fits - practically invisible. Points worthy of note: - the factory original VVT plate is as new. The stack-pot plate is from 920D Custom - very neat and cool custom parts from USA. Their work is impeccable, worth a look. - the maple neck is THE best I've ever seen on a US Fender - very close grain quarter-sawn which shows up the medullary rays in the wood - really hard to photograph but this neck is stunning and up there with the best CS necks I've seen. - the CAR colour is hard to photograph too - it has a kind of radiance and depth that my pics don't capture Bought this from a BCer quite recently and the reason I am selling is I have a day-to-day Jazz I gig with and this is just too mint to be entrusted to me. Street price seems to be 1500, the 920D loom is another 100, plus the second genuine Fender plate (the aged white one, the tort was original) and 2 sets of new strings. I have original invoice for the bass from Wunjo Denmark St, who also fitted the 920D stacked plate. About strings: has brand new LaBella 760FL just fitted, PLUS virtually new set of D'Addario rounds (45-100 I recall). If you want to trim the price and like the standard VVT plate, I'll keep the 920D stack and knock a bit off the price. NO trades sorry... OK there's a really slim chance I'd look at a good 5er but think wonga FINALLY, original seller did some great pics (way better than mine) including tort plate fitted so take a look if you fancy

    FWIW, I picked up a MAG250 210 combo locally cheap (£120) for the permanent rehearsal space we have - and it is really quite amazing. It's flat sound is exactly what I look for - slightly growly bottom end, tight punchy mids and a crunch on top that I can dial in and out on the bass. EQ is all v close to flat, sub-bass thing is off (didn't like that). That's with either a P or Jazz both with EB Cobalts. I suspect I'd be very happy with a big EVO for live work. They seem to be a bargain used - maybe it's a combination of size/weight; styling is rather retro and they might be out of fashion when a lot of players seem to be chasing the next new thing like Quilter, Darkglass or whatever it is today.

    Looks really interesting. I've seen it compared to the Carvin which I have played and really liked. If it was fretless I'd be popping along. Bet it would sound ace with nylon flats on. Someone buy this so I don't have to
  16. Soledad
    or you could go for this on Gumtree > mine's only got about 80% velcro on the bottom, not good.

    👍 Gary. The board is home made, just 12mm ply with ramped and caps. Power supply mounted under is an Ammoon 8 way 500mA - found on AMZN for around £35. I really rate the power supply, nicely made, small and light, quiet. Had some Panzergrau spray can left so gave it a lick-over. Panzergrau sounds like it'll get on with the job, no?? Need to do some cable tying but have to shift the comp a bit first as the DI on the Sans is on the left side - I'd have liked it on the back but apart from that I like the Sans Para a lot.

    As a one-time owner of the original 60s EB3, they have done at least 2 very good things here. Longer scale, and balancing the pups. Gibson never thought of either of those things Another player of the era that got good sounds from the EB3 was Glen Cornick of Jethro Tull. I think maybe the guy in Colliseum played one for a while too, and he was nifty. This'll be gone in a flash.

    It may surprise some... but Journey: 'Don't Stop Believing'. CBS tried with it at least 3 times around '80/'81 - radio wouldn't play it, couldn't get arrested. It took a Glee cover 28 years later to expose the original (and best).

    The summary bit: might want a 47 or a C4, want advice re how they sound and what they can do. Anyone vaguely local let me have a play through either... that would be festive And I've placed a wanted on here in case anyone is moving one maybe. SO Interested in the use of clusters of smaller drivers. I want to create a small rig to replace a very good 210 combo (quite big, heavy). Main uses would be home, acoustic and lower level groups/collectives (the word band doesn't fit here really). So my basses with electro-acoustic guitars and various hippysh*t. I'd prefer a cab and head for flexibility, swap one out later if I want. Plenty of decent class Ds around and I'd usually run through a Sansamp anyway. SOUND - not looking for big volumes or massive bottom end of course, more a wide-band quite hi-fi purity. Fretless would feature quite a bit and that is all about the mids (and the flexibility to shape them). The fretted Jazz and P run EB flats, finger and occasionally pick. Again enough bottom end but good mids and moderate top (3-5k say). I'm wary of rear porting but will keep an open mind. The PJB UK distributor is quite near me but I suspect they are just box shifters (I may try and contact them - Selectron in Sittingbourne). Apart from that Bass Direct is miles away and I can't find a dealer with stock more locally. Thanking you all kindly.

    Just done a total makeover on the board, and it's stripped to the basics I need. Really liking the Sansamp Para so far (just arrived), particularly for the fretless as it gives me a lot more mid control. Find the drive very dirty personally but like the EQ and sound, a lot. Used with 2 fretted Fenders (J & P) with EB Cobalts on, a Jazz with LaBell 760FL, and the Jazz fretless with Cobalts - into a GB900. Chasing the sound and getting happier. So I submit my humble board.

    Tyre pressure gauge I believe. Now spoken for👍

    Now spoken for.

    Don't know what it's called, but a guitar maker gave me it ages ago. He used it for measuring and adjusting top thickness and I believe fingerboards. Anyway, it's ready to go to a new home - listed in recycling here. Free of course.
